Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to determine those homogeneous real hypersurfaces in a complex projective space Pn(C) of complex dimension n(^>2) which are orbits under analytic subgroups of the projective unitary group PU(n-\\-\\)> and to give some characterizations of those hypersurfaces. In § 1 from each effective Hermitian orthogonal symmetric Lie algebra of rank two we construct an example of homogeneous real hypersurface in Pn(C)y which we shall call a model space in Pn(C). In §2 we show that the class of all homogeneous real hypersurfaces in Pn{C) that are orbits under analytic subgroups of PU(n-\\-l) is exhausted by all model spaces. In §§3 and 4 we give some conditions for a real hypersurface in Pn(C) to be an orbit under an analytic subgroup of PU(n-\\-l) and in the course of proof we obtain a rigidity theorem in Pn(C) analogous to one for hypersurfaces in a real space form. The author would like to express his hearty thanks to Professor T. Takahashi for valuable discussions with him and his constant encouragement, and to Professor M. Takeuchi who made an original complicated proof of Lemma 2.3 short and clear.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a complex submanifold with constant principal curvatures is an open subset of a homogeneous hypersurface if and only if it has constant curvatures and Jt is principal.
Abstract: Let M be a real hypersurface in /"'(C), J be the complex structure and | denote a unit normal vector field on M. We show that M is (an open subset of) a homogeneous hypersurface if and only if M has constant principal curvatures and Jt, is principal. We also obtain a characterization of certain complex submanifolds in a complex projective space. Specifically, /""(C) (totally geodesic), Q", Pl(C) x P"(C). SU{5)/S(U{2) X (7(3)) and SO(10)/t/(5) are the only complex submani- folds whose principal curvatures are constant in the sense that they depend neither on the point of the submanifold nor on the normal vector.

TL;DR: In this article, a complete classification of isoparametric hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures has been obtained in the sphere, but the classification has not been obtained until now.
Abstract: Since E. Cartan's work in the late 30's the classification problem of hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures is known to be far from trivial. In real space forms it leads to the well-known classification problem of isoparametric hypersurfaces, which has been solved in euclidean space by T. Levi-Civita [6] and B. Segre [11] and in hyperbolic space by E. Cartan [1]; in the sphere, however, a complete classification has not been obtained until now (for essential results see [1], [2], [3], [8], [9], [10], and the literature cited there).

TL;DR: The study of real hypersurfaces in complex projective space CP n and complex hyperbolic space CH n began at approximately the same time as Munzner's work on isoparametric hypersurface in spheres as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The study of real hypersurfaces in complex projective space CP n and complex hyperbolic space CH n began at approximately the same time as Munzner’s work on isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres. A key early work was Takagi’s classification [669] in 1973 of homogeneous real hypersurfaces in CP n . These hypersurfaces necessarily have constant principal curvatures, and they serve as model spaces for many subsequent classification theorems. Later Montiel [501] provided a similar list of standard examples in complex hyperbolic space CH n . In this chapter, we describe these examples of Takagi and Montiel in detail, and later we prove many important classification results involving them. We also study Hopf hypersurfaces, focal sets, parallel hypersurfaces and tubes using both standard techniques of submanifold geometry and the method of Jacobi fields.
